Zelda Seguin Wallace

Zelda Harrison Seguin Wallace (1848 – February 19, 1914) was an American opera singer and suffragist.

[3] She was well known for being the first to sing the title role of Carmen in English in the United States,[4][5] and as Azucena in Il trovatore, among other parts.

She continued giving concerts, especially near her home in Indianapolis, Indiana, and for causes she supported, including women's suffrage.

[7][8] "It is not generally known, and when asserted usually excites astonishment, that Zelda Seguin-Wallace is a very strong woman suffragist", noted a commentator in 1883.

[14] She married railroad man David Wallace Jr., in 1880, giving up a substantial inheritance from her first mother-in-law's estate.
